So I took a quick break from studying/homework today (I know, totally lame but my weekends look like all studying and no play until December!) and scooped up some snacks and makeup for just $1.63 (tax included!) I technically didn't even have to spend the $1.63 either because I forgot that I had store credit.. so could've gotten everything for free! I also forgot to get my free beauty charm (with a $15 purchase) so boo. =( Anyways, here's what I got:

Here are examples of the manufacturer coupons I used. My L'Oreal coupon was actually $3 off though. Also, I didn't realize that the Maybelline coupons were for only the Age Rewind foundation -I thought it was for all Age Rewind Products. Luckily, I got to use it anyways!

I was disappointed that I didn't get the $7 off $15 Revlon coupon that everybody's getting from the CVS Slot Machine/Price Scanner but I'm going back tomorrow to see if it'll print! I need that coupon!

Anyways, if you're into Revlon polishes, be sure to head to CVS because this week, they're on sale for $3.99 plus you get $3 Extra Bucks for each (that's 99 cents a bottle!) -there's a limit of 6 per CVS membership. Also, if you happen to get the $7 off $15 printout, you'll get an amazing deal.. and you can combine that with the $4 off $20 or $5 off $25 printout coupon I linked above for an ever better deal!!

P.S. Thanks again PAG (from Extra Petite) for giving me a heads up on the Revlon deal this week!! =)

Nice haul, so are you going to dye your hair?I am going for a small trip to another city next week and I plan to do a major makeup haul I need a concealer so is this one good.I have some undereye circles so should I get a concealer one shade lighter than my foundation or same as foundation shade?

@ alvira.. My hair's light brown/almost blonde right now and I HATE it so I'm hoping I have time to dye it sometime this week. I was going to go for dark brown/black (my natural color) but I saw this and thought it was pretty!

Hmm.. I'm not the best to ask about concealer since I don't use it often. For me personally thought, I tend to use a concealer that is slightly lighter than my foundation. Since the undereye circles are so dark, you want something that will lighten them up ..at least that's what I think. Lighter works for me though.

I love when they let you use coupons that aren't "technically" for that product. It really emphasizes the fact that it's worth trying! I did that at Target today- they're also really good with accepting coupons I've found.

They have coupons on around any drugstore you go to -usually on the newer "collection displays. I also get them from the Sunday paper and magazines. For more info on coupons and drugstore shopping, go here:

The hair dye is L'Oreal Superior Preference in 4SM (Warmer) from the "Decadent Chocolate Collection." The box says it's a "dark soft mahogany brown." I hope it turns out ok! I totally bought this randomly.

wow, great haul. I have never been to a CVS. I'm from Toronto Canada. Sounds like fun and cheap place. The cheapest place i can get my make-up is Walmart supercentre. However, it would be nice to have something similar to a "CVS." LOL

LOL CVS is just like any other drugstore. Walmart prices are actually way cheaper but because they have deals every week and take so many coupons, it comes out so cheap!

For instance, Walmart will have a lipstick for $6 and CVS will sell it for $7 but CVS will have a deal like "Buy One Get One Half Off" ..that's why I always buy makeup from drugstores and not Target/Walmart.
